In the series, Abstergo is a company headed by the Templars. The company creates Animus, which can make present day assassins re-live their ancestors lives. The purpose of this is to find the secret location where the assassins hid thee Pieces of Eden. The Pieces of Eden, fused together, can control free will, the basis of the Assassins’ ideology.
